Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery

Season 22 Episode 2: Six Queens For Henry VIII

An exciting journey into 16th century England through the intricate events of King Henry VIII and his six wives, some repudiated, others beheaded. A story of tyranny, blood and betrayal that led to the separation of England from the Church of Rome. We will discover that an epidemic, not too different from the one we are experiencing, kept King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, his lover at the time, separated for a long period, and we will reveal the contents of some handwritten letters from the king to his beloved which are kept today in the Vatican Apostolic Library.
